2.4.0

Visual refresh

• Depth-based surface hierarchy: recessed sidebar, raised selection, and the caption editor as the brightest focal surface
• Unified dark theme — dialogs, inputs, dropdowns, tooltips, and scrollbars now share one consistent style
• Consistent radius scale and hover states across tabs, list rows, and buttons
• Selected images get a pink terminal-edge marker; destructive actions turn red on hover

Motion

• Rive animations for loading indicators, the drag-and-drop hint, and the empty-state hero

Faster

• Image dimensions are parsed from file headers (no full pixel decode) — faster folder opens
• Thumbnails and the blurred backdrop decode at capped resolutions — lower memory
• Folder scans are indexed; selecting an image no longer stats the whole folder

UX

• Empty state offers Reopen last folder
• No-search-results state gains a Clear search action
• Emoji chrome replaced with proper icons; unified typography and spacing
